Dear first semester students, welcome to the Institute of Chemistry!

On behalf of all lecturers, staff and students at the Institute, we would like to welcome you and are delighted that you have decided to study chemistry in Oldenburg! To make the start of your studies as pleasant as possible, we invite you to the orientation week (07.10.2024 - 11.10.2024), during which you will have the opportunity to get to know the institute, your fellow students and lecturers.

We wish you a good start, lots of fun and success in your studies!

Niko Kruse, a doctoral student in the junior research group led by Dr. Lars Mohrhusen at the Institute of Chemistry, was awarded a best poster prize at the European Conference on Surface Science (ECOSS) in Harrogate, UK. ECOSS is one of the major european conferences for surface physics and chemistry. Niko presented the results of his master's thesis, in which he developed a new synthesis route for two-dimensional titanium sulfide nanoparticles on metal surfaces and comprehensively studied the structure of these 2D nanomaterials. The awarded results were achieved in collaboration with the group led by Prof. Jeppe V. Lauritsen at Aarhus University in Denmark.
